Fabio Silva transfer ‘one to watch’ as Wolves striker gears up for £20m exit

There will be several exits from Molineux this summer, with Wolves forward Fabio Silva likely to be one of them.

Having been labelled as the worst signing of the Fosun era, it’s safe to say that Silva’s Wolves career hasn’t exactly gone to plan.

The 22-year-old, though, has managed to revive his reputation slightly this season, on loan at Las Palmas.

Having notched ten La Liga goals, the Portuguese’s form has attracted suitors from across Europe, with Borussia Dortmund interested in Silva’s signature.

With interest growing, it now seems like the forward is almost certainly heading for the exit door at Molineux.

Fabio Silva is planning to leave Wolves

Atletico Madrid’s interest in Silva suggested the 22-year-old could remain in Spain this summer. Now, though, it seems like the forward could be destined for Germany.

As well as Dortmund, a host of other Bundesliga clubs are said to be monitoring Silva’s situation, with Leipzig, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg all interested.

That is according to Florian Plettenberg, who claims Silva’s exit is ‘one to watch’ this summer, with the Portuguese ‘planning to leave’ Wolves.

Any transfer to Germany would reportedly be in the region of £15m-£20m, with any Silva transfer potentially including a sell-on clause – something that could bag Fosun millions in years to come.

Wolves need to reinvest Silva money

With Silva’s fate almost sealed, Wolves would be wise to start planning how they are going to reinvest the money made on the Portuguese’s sale.

The forward line is one area of the pitch which could definitely use some investment, with Matheus Cunha’s transfer to Man United and Pablo Sarabia’s contract exit, leaving Vitor Pereira’s attack seriously light on numbers.

Wolves are interested in Evann Guessand to the tune of £25 million – the sort of fee which could be funded by Silva’s inevitable exit.

The cash will be there for Fosun this summer, whether they can spend it wisely, though, is another question entirely.
